After dressing up as the heroine of a sadistic novel, I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself em

Chapter 78 078: Majia Village (1)

Gui Shang glanced at Chi Yi, who quickly reacted and handed the reins of the horse to Chi Er, who was still a little distracted, while he stepped forward to talk.

"Yes, we come from a little south, and we are planning to go to the imperial capital now."

"There are relatives of the same race there, and we happened to stop by to see them."

When he said this, his face turned slightly red, and he looked a little embarrassed by what he had just said.

The villagers immediately showed an expression called enlightenment, looking at him with a little pity, and a little bit of ridicule and disdain that was not easy to detect.

Just as Gui Shang said when he first set foot in this village, they were some poor relatives who came to seek refuge in the imperial capital. Naturally, they were a little embarrassed to "tell" them their true thoughts, for fear that they would be despised and looked down upon.

After all, poor relatives who come all the way just to catch the autumn wind or seek shelter will not be liked by anyone.

Gui Shang could clearly detect the slight emotions on the faces of the villagers, either pity or pity.

Of course, these are superficial.

At a deeper level, she seemed to see a little disdain and ridicule from the villagers who were plainly dressed and looked extremely enthusiastic and well-meaning. It was condescending and completely contemptuous of others.

But they have restrained all these less glamorous, even dark and malicious emotions, and they still look warm and hospitable to the outside world. When they look at them, they seem to have an inexplicable and strange excitement.

Gui Shang always felt a little strange about this group of people who seemed to be the same as the other villagers. Those dark eyes sometimes made her feel like she was being watched, as if she was a little kid who took the initiative to enter the hunter's enclosure. Lamb-like.

But she didn't say anything that would arouse their vigilance, she just smiled the kind of gentle and harmless smile that is very common for little girls of this age.

Gui Shang was still holding the petite cat, and he had one hand free to scratch the cat's chin.

Chi Yi's face was still a little red. He scratched his hair in embarrassment, looked at the villagers who gathered around him, and spoke hesitantly.

"We want to stay here for a night... just one night..."

He was a tall and strong-looking young man with long legs and was a little embarrassed to dare them. He looked very embarrassed.

When Gui Shang was playing with the cat, she kept looking at Chi Yi from the corner of her eye, watching him instantly enter the role and even add scenes of his own, making the script she gave more complete and colorful. Returning to business feels like finding a treasure.

There is a person who can understand a little bit of animal language and control beasts, can quickly make perfect response plans according to her wishes in various situations, and even seems to be very adaptable and comfortable. There are thousands of people with such talents, no, Even among 1 elites, you may not be able to select such one.

I'm really lucky.

She said this to herself in her mind.

When I returned to business, I felt a little happy for no reason -

Fortunately, she didn't kill him directly at that time, otherwise she wouldn't have such a useful knife that could satisfy her so much.Looking at the rest of the people, Wei Changying looked normal when she was talking to the surrounding villagers and introducing them, but she saw her stiff movements, which seemed a little uncomfortable.

Chi Er stumbled a bit when he spoke, but he managed to get through it. Even if the villagers noticed a slight sense of disobedience, their attention was easily changed by Chi Yi's words.

Akaji sighed slightly at the right time where no one else could see him, but quickly put his emotions back together, still holding the reins in his hand.

He seemed to be blurting out some nonsense to the uncles and aunties who gathered around him.

A little girl who looked about the same age as her walked up to her. Her expression was a little reserved at first, but also a little pity and pity, but this complicated emotion disappeared quickly. When she looked at her, she changed her face again. He looked smiling and seemed to have a little "surprise".

"Hello, I am a member of this village. This is Majia Village. My name is Ma Yue, the month of the moon!"

Gui Shang looked at her quietly. The other party's expression had a very friendly feeling, and she looked as enthusiastic as those uncles and aunts.

She even extended her hand towards her, as if she wanted to imitate the "little sisters holding hands" approach to get closer to her.

Gui Shang calmly avoided the hand that was covered with yellow calluses and was not very soft. He was still caressing the cat unhurriedly.

I only saw her smiling at the little girl, and her voice seemed to be a little innocent because of it, "Hello to you, my name is Jiang Si, the Si I miss."

"I am the youngest in the family. The one in the front is my eldest brother. Next to the eldest brother is my second brother. The one talking over there is my third sister."

As she talked about returning to business, her mood seemed to be a little low. She hugged the cat, her head drooped a little, and her toes were still making circles with a layer of dust that was not shallow or thick from time to time, and her voice also became... Choking up sobs, she said, "We no longer have a father and a mother. This time we went to Kyoto just to see our aunt, the only living relative who has a blood relationship with us."

Ma Yue's expression became embarrassed for a moment. She opened her mouth several times as if to comfort her, but every time her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and her eyes were filled with a layer of deep guilt that she couldn't understand. and sadness.

——Is it because I said something to her that I shouldn’t have said, or mentioned something that was not appropriate for her?
Gui Shang carefully distinguished the complicated and contradictory emotions, but always felt that Ma Yue's guilt and sadness were not all due to the feeling that she had said the wrong thing.

He looks like a very strange person.

Gui Shang thought aimlessly.

*
Gui Shang restrained all his emotions, making it look like his eyes were red because he thought of his dead parents, but he was "very stubborn" and did not let himself cry.

After Ma Yue was silent for a while, she looked at her very apologetically, "I'm sorry that I brought up your sadness..."

Gui Shang wiped away the non-existent tears, making his already red eyes even redder, "It's okay, Sister Xiaoyue, I just suddenly thought of them again, I don't blame you."

After that, the little girl named Ma Yue thought for a while, and after asking the adult behind her something, she said to her: "To express my apology, you can all come to live in my house. My house is very spacious, no matter how many It’s enough room for a few people.”
